Data Center Infrastructure FAQ

    1. Compute & virtualization, storage & data management, and the physical layer (power, racks, environmental monitoring) engineered for high availability and scale.

    2. 3-tier separates compute, storage, and networking; HCI unifies them in software-defined nodes for simpler scaling and operations. Use 3-tier for specialized storage needs; choose HCI for fast scale-out and day-2 simplicity.

    3. Redundant power/cooling (N+1), HA clustering and replication, continuous monitoring, and planned maintenance windows so core systems stay online.

    4. Immutable backups, tested restores, and replication/orchestration to meet RPO/RTO targets—plus DR runbooks and regular drills.

    5. Design for integrity, availability, and protection: immutable snapshots, encryption, role-based access, retention, and audit-ready logging mapped to NIS2/ISO 27001.

    6. We assess rack density and power draw, then right-size UPS/cooling and monitoring—aligned with efficiency goals (ISO 14001).

    7. Yes—iPro assists with triage, containment, recovery, and root-cause analysis; we’ll also outline prevention steps.
